RACE 1 (6) KYLEASE: Added to her growing record when a game winner in a strong BM 78 over 1200m at Kembla Grange on November 23 when having her first outing for seven weeks. A subsequent easy trial win has her well placed to take another progressive step as she is back to her own sex and remains well weighted in yet another example of her smart stable continuing to place her in winnable races.
RACE 6 (8) SIGNORE FOX: Back home after a luckless Brisbane outing in the Listed Recognition Stakes over 1350m at Doomben on November 23 that came six weeks after an excellent first-up win over this course and distance in October when carrying a big weight (58.5kg). He'll enjoy the return to his roomy home course and the harder they go in front the more he will like it.
RACE 7 (7) LIVE AND FREE: Set for this and ready to peak after a well-planned prep that sees him hit the testing mile off two excellent lead-ups. Showed he was on song when beaten a nose in the G3 Festival Stakes (1500m) at Rosehill and will be better at Randwick where he has won three times from five outings. The booking of big race specialist Glen Boss – the king of the Randwick mile - seals the deal.
